Pamela Anderson Sparks Red Carpet Buzz with Liam Neeson Cheek Kiss
Avery Sinclair here. Oh, this should be entertaining.
Pamela Anderson managed to upstage every camera flash when she leaned in and planted a kiss on Liam Neeson’s cheek at the July 22 London premiere of their upcoming comedy The Naked Gun, set to hit theaters August 1. Decked out in a deep purple strapless gown that hugged her figure and statement chain earrings that jingled with every step, the Baywatch star placed a gentle hand on Neeson’s chest before delivering what can only be described as red carpet PDA perfection. Neeson, sporting a grey suit and black T-shirt, grinned like a guy who just realized he’s part of Hollywood’s latest headline as he returned the gesture with an arm around Anderson’s back (E! News).
While neither actor has gone public with relationship status updates beyond friendly banter, fans have plenty to dissect. In a November 2024 chat with People Magazine, Neeson admitted he fell “madly in love” with Anderson during filming, praising her humility and work ethic. “She’s just terrific to work with. No huge ego, just comes in to do the work,” he said. Anderson, who previously gushed that Neeson was a “perfect gentleman” and that “he brings out the best in you,” echoed those sentiments in the same interview (People Magazine).
Yet don’t expect wedding bells anytime soon. Neeson, father of two sons with his late wife Natasha Richardson, confessed in an October 2024 interview with People Magazine that he’s “past” the dating scene. Anderson, who shares sons with ex Tommy Lee and finalized her divorce in 2022, told filmmakers in her 2023 documentary Pamela, a Love Story that she’d “rather be alone than not be with the father of my kids.”
If on-set chemistry is your guilty pleasure, grab some popcorn. During HBO Max’s Friends reunion special, Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer admitted their off-camera crushes mirrored Ross and Rachel’s. Schwimmer revealed he had a “major crush” on Aniston in season one while Aniston confirmed it was reciprocated. They maintained professional boundaries, but Schwimmer admitted they snuck in cuddles and even dozed off spooning on the couch between breaks. Matt LeBlanc playfully suggested there may have been more than just friendly flirts, pointing out that their first on-screen kiss was secretly foreshadowed by whispered backstage confessions (HBO Max Reunion).
So what’s next? Keep your eyes peeled for The Naked Gun’s box-office arrival and any follow-up interviews where Anderson and Neeson might clarify if that cheek kiss was a one-off or the teaser for something more.
And that’s today’s dose of reality. You can thank me later.
